When the heart’s sludgy tributaries

grow dry,

trust the bones.

Their dry winter wisdom

will not deceive you

for in their white chalk quarry

lies something truer

than any of the fruity varieties of love

you have known.

One day the fingers will uncurl again,

the nostrils twitch, eyes widen

and the body will return to what it’s always been –

old antenna,

tuned promiscuously

springward.

But even then,

remember,

try to remember

the bones.

I Knew a Cat

I knew a cat

with a face like a star.
